Atlas The Phantom Atlas | Simon & Schuster

Een fascinerend boekwerk met de grootste mythes, leugens en blunders die ooit op kaart zijn verschenen. In een luxe hardcover uitgave met mooie stofomslag. The Phantom Atlas is an atlas of the world not as it ever existed, but as it was thought to be. These marvellous and mysterious phantoms - non-existent islands, invented mountain ranges, mythical civilisations and other fictitious geography - were all at various times presented as facts on maps and atlases. This book is a collection of striking antique maps that display the most erroneous cartography, with each illustration accompanied by the story behind it. Exploration, map-making and mythology are all brought together to create a colourful tapestry of monsters, heroes and volcanoes; swindlers, mirages and murderers. Sometimes the stories are almost impossible to believe, and remarkably, some of the errors were still on display in maps published in the 21st century. Throughout much of the 19th century more than 40 different mapmak…

The Ministry of Time

A 2024 literary highlight in the Sunday Times, Grazia, Dazed, Sunday Express, GQ, i-D, Stylist, Bookseller and Literary Friction 'Holy smokes this novel is an absolute cut above! Exciting, surprising, intellectually provocative, weird, radical, tender and moving. I missed it when I was away from it. I will hurry to re-read it. Make room on your bookshelves for a new classic' MAX PORTER, AUTHOR OF SHY 'An outrageously brilliant debut . . . This is already the best new book I will have read next year' ELEANOR CATTON, AUTHOR OF BIRNAM WOOD 'Hugely enjoyable . . . Your next crush is a long dead Arctic explorer'' JOANNA QUINN, AUTHOR OF THE WHALEBONE THEATRE 'Kaliane Bradley writes with the maximalist confidence of P. G. Wodehouse, but also with the page-turning pining of Sally Rooney. It's thought-provoking and horribly clever - but it also made me laugh out loud' ALICE WINN, AUTHOR OF IN MEMORIAM 'A fantastic debut: conceptually brilliant, really funny, genuinely moving, written in t…

Wandelgids Walk! Sierra de Aracena | Discovery Walking Guides

Introducing you to the beautiful region of Sierra de Aracena, this guidebook has 27 detailed walking routes backed by useful information. Every route has 1:40,000 scale colour mapping from Tour & Trail Map, plus GPS Waypoints for pinpoint navigational accuracy. A hundred kilometres northwest of Seville lies a region of truly unspoilt rural Spain. Once a province of Portugal the Sierra de Aracena encapsulates almost everything that we look for as the idyllic walking destination; rural beauty in flora and fauna, breathtaking landscapes, unspoilt towns and villages linked by old donkey trails. All it lacks are high mountains. The Spanish have known about this isolated region for sometime and arrive at weekends and in mid-summer, but on weekdays and out of season it returns to peaceful tranquility. Few 'outsiders' know of this delightful region and you can be the first to read about it in English. We first discovered the region five years ago, when we thought it too isolated to justify a…
